How to Make Oh So Easy Ice Box Coconut Cake

  1. Prepare your cake layers: Mix a 15.25 ounce box of your favorite white cake mix according to the package directions. Bake in two 9-inch round cake pans and let cool completely.
  2. Level and Split: Once cooled, level the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife and carefully slice each layer in half horizontally to create four layers.
  3. Make the Coconut Filling: In a medium bowl, combine two (8-ounce) packages of shredded sweetened coconut, 8 ounces of sour cream, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Mix well.
  4. Reserve Some Filling: Set aside 1/2 cup of the coconut mixture for later use.
  5. Layer the Cake: Spread the remaining coconut mixture evenly between the four cake layers.
  6. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, gently fold the reserved 1/2 cup of coconut mixture into 8 ounces of whipped topping (thawed if frozen).
  7. Frost the Cake: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the coconut whipped topping mixture.
  8. Refrigerate: Refrigerate the cake in an airtight container for at least 3 days, or preferably 4, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to become perfectly moist.
